Ecce prandium meum paravi,
tauri mei et altilia mactata sunt,
et omnia parata sunt:
venite ad nuptias. Alleluia.

Comedite panem meum,
et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis:
venite ad nuptias. Alleluia.

Behold, I have prepared my meal:
my oxen and poultry are killed,
and all things are made ready:
come unto the marriage. Alleluia.

Eat my bread, and drink
the wine that I have mixed for you:
come unto the marriage. Alleluia.

Seht, ich habe mein Mahl bereitet,
meine Stiere und mein Mastvieh sind geschlachtet,
und alles ist bereit:
Kommt zur Hochzeit. Halleluja.

Eßt mein Brot und trinkt den Wein,
den ich für euch gemischt habe:
Kommt zur Hochzeit. Halleluja.
